Episode 11 - Ready for the Draft 2022 Podcast Series

Readyforthedraft.com's Gregg Schutze shares his passion for the NFL draft and takes you on a journey leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft.

We've seen some breakout performers in 2022 and Episode 11 is dedicated to talking about just a few who have emerged in 2022.  Any conversation about players with soaring draft stock has to begin with Kenneth Walker III, who may now be the Heisman frontrunner after his 5 TD performance in a 37-33 win over Michigan.  Kenny Pickett has proved his decision to return to Pittsburgh was a smart one, elevating his play to a level that brings him into consideration among the top QB's in this year's draft class.  At WR, Drake London was always seen as a top-10 wideout, but what he has done in 2021, even after the devastating ankle fracture this past weekend that ended his season, has him knocking on the door as a top WR target.  At OT, Bernhard Raimann may have been a foreign exchange student from Austria in high school, but his athleticism coupled with his technique have him squarely in the conversation as a top OT prospect.  Defensively, everyone knew Jordan Davis was special at NT, but the burst, lateral quickness and motor have him knocking on the door of the top 10.  Nakobe Dean has emerged as the draft's top inside backer, while Jaquan Brisker is the top safety not named Kyle Hamilton.  And while there's a lot of talk around Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner at Cincinnati, don't sleep on Coby Bryant at corner.
